Hello Desert Runners!
I’m Jon Roig, a longtime runner and software developer based in Scottsdale, AZ. I created Run-PHX to share my favorite running routes around the city and help fellow runners discover new trails and paths, maybe even build something of a community.
That’s not to say we don’t have an amazing trail running scene in the Valley of the Sun - we absolutely do! From the stunning desert landscapes of South Mountain to the challenging terrains of McDowell Mountain Regional Park, there’s no shortage of incredible routes to explore. My hope is that Run-PHX can serve as a resource to help you find and enjoy these fantastic running spots.
So let’s get out! Explore! Run free!
This project is very much a work in progress. If you have any suggestions, feedback, or if you’d like to contribute routes, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me via email at jon at jon roig dot com.
